7. Disclaimers

  • Accuracy Disclaimer: THE SERVICE AND ALL INFORMATION ON THE SITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. HAPS.IO MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED ON THE SITE, INCLUDING USER CONTENT OR DATA SOURCED FROM THIRD PARTIES.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL HAPS.IO, ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE.

We may terminate or suspend your account and bar access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach the Terms or engage in illegal activity. If you wish to terminate your account, you may simply discontinue using the Service or contact us.

All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [Insert Your State, e.g., California], United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

12. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Most user concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us at admin@happs.io. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve a complaint you may have to your satisfaction (or if Happs.io has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree to resolve those disputes through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts.

You and Happs.io agree that any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or Commercial Arbitration Rules, if applicable) then in effect. The arbitration shall take place in [Insert Your City and State, e.g., San Francisco, California]. You and Happs.io agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action.

13. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect, likely by updating the "Last Updated" date and potentially through other notifications. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Service after any revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO REPLACE "[Insert Date Here]", "[Insert Your State, e.g., California]", and "[Insert Your City and State, e.g., San Francisco, California]" with the appropriate information. Consult with a legal professional to ensure these terms are suitable for your specific situation and jurisdiction.
